Abstract

An information processing method includes receiving an instruction that causes a generative artificial intelligence (AI) to generate document data, the document data being generated by rearranging the information included in an original document image according to layout of a sample file, and the instruction being generated based on a user operation, acquiring the original document image, acquiring the sample file, generating an instruction statement corresponding to the received instruction, and transmitting the original document image, the sample file, and the instruction statement to a server of the generative AI.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing method comprising:
 receiving an instruction that causes a generative artificial intelligence (AI) to generate document data, the document data being generated by rearranging the information included in an original document image according to layout of a sample file, and the instruction being generated based on a user operation;   acquiring the original document image;   acquiring the sample file;   generating an instruction statement corresponding to the received instruction; and   transmitting the original document image, the sample file, and the instruction statement to a server of the generative AI.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing method according to  claim 1 , wherein the original document image is acquired by scanning a physical document. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing method according to  claim 1 , wherein the instruction includes an instruction to acquire a specified portion of the sample file as a sample. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing method according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the portion can be specified during receiving of the instruction, and   wherein any one of a template, a layout, a graph, a table, or a region outlined by a hand-drawn line is included as an option for the portion.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing method according to  claim 1 , wherein the sample file is image data acquired by scanning. 
     
     
         6 . The information processing method according to  claim 1 , wherein the sample file is electronic data specified by a user. 
     
     
         7 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to perform a control method, the control method comprising:
 receiving an instruction that causes a generative AI to generate document data, the document data being generated by rearranging the information included in an original document image according to layout of a sample file, and the instruction being generated based on a user operation;   acquiring the original document image;   acquiring the sample file;   generating an instruction statement corresponding to the instruction; and   transmitting the original document image, the sample file, and the instruction statement to a server of the generative AI.   
     
     
         8 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 an instruction reception unit configured to receive an instruction that causes a generative AI to generate document data, the document data being generated by rearranging the information included in an original document image according to layout of a sample file, and the instruction being generated based on a user operation;   an original document image acquisition unit configured to acquire the original document image;   a sample acquisition unit configured to acquire the sample file;   an instruction statement generation unit configured to generate an instruction statement corresponding to the instruction; and   an instruction transmission unit configured to transmit the original document image, the sample file, and the instruction statement to a server of the generative AI.   
     
     
         9 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the original document image acquisition unit acquires the original document image by scanning an original document. 
     
     
         10 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the instruction includes an instruction to acquire a specified portion of the sample file as a sample. 
     
     
         11 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 10 ,
 wherein the portion can be specified via the instruction reception unit, and   wherein any one of a template, a layout, a graph, a table, or a region outlined by a hand-drawn line is included as an option for the portion.   
     
     
         12 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the sample file is image data acquired by scanning. 
     
     
         13 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the sample file is electronic data specified by a user. 
     
     
         14 . A multi-function printer comprising:
 an instruction reception unit configured to receive an instruction that causes a generative AI to generate document data, the document data being generated by rearranging the information included in an original document image according to layout of a sample file, and the instruction being generated based on a user operation;   an original document image acquisition unit configured to acquire the original document image;   a sample acquisition unit configured to acquire the sample file by using a scanner;   an instruction statement generation unit configured to generate an instruction statement corresponding to the instruction; and   an instruction transmission unit configured to transmit the original document image, the sample file, and the instruction statement to a server of the generative AI.
